No. 4,099,23 entitled “Electrical Connector and U.S. Patent No. 4,099,23
No. 3, "Method for Manufacturing Electrical Connectors," is that when the thin plate of the electric wire mesh is deformed by the crushing action, the wire mesh enters the adhesive interface between the hard wafer and the elastic grommet, creating a conductive path between the outer row of terminals and the shell. It is known that this can lead to ground faults.

ポキシ樹脂の締りばめは公差によっては締り方が十分で
はない。Other conventional devices include epoxy resin connectors, interference fit type connectors made of epoxy resin, and self-locking type connectors. These devices do not provide a conductive path but do not retain the insert well. Epoxy resin joints do not have reinforcements to protect them from failure under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Also, the tightness of the epoxy resin interference fit may not be sufficient depending on the tolerance.
接合部がすべりのあるゆるい締りであるためインサート
が脱は易い。自動止め型は製作公差が難しいことに原因
して締りがゆるくなる。The insert is easy to remove because the joint is loose and slips. Self-closing molds tend to be loose due to difficult manufacturing tolerances.
他の装置では非金属の網状薄板を利用したものがある。Other devices utilize non-metallic mesh sheets.
この装置は保持性が良くまたインサートとシェル間に導
電経路ができないが取扱い及び処理が困難である。Although this device provides good retention and eliminates conductive paths between the insert and the shell, it is difficult to handle and process.
従って、費用がか−らず、種々の直径及び種々の内部断
面積を有するコネクタシェルに広範囲に適用することが
でき、製造が容易でかつ使用者が挿入・保持を確実に行
ない得る非導電性インサート保持装置が望まれている。Therefore, a non-conductive connector that is inexpensive, can be widely applied to connector shells of various diameters and internal cross-sectional areas, is easy to manufacture, and can be inserted and retained reliably by the user. An insert retention device is desired.

するインサート保持部材とを備える。To achieve the above objects, the present invention includes a metal shell having an annular groove in its inner wall, and an insulating metal shell having an outer surface disposed within the shell to form an annular space between the shell and the insert. The shell includes an insert and an insert holding member that holds the insert within the shell.

は不可能である。According to the invention, the retaining member is made of a flexible thermoplastic material corrugated along its front face by longitudinal grooves to form axially weakened columns. When the front part of the band comes into contact with the axial surface of the front end of the annular space formed between the insert and the shell, the band folds into each other like an accordion. It is pushed into the annular space in an interfering manner in the radial direction. The shell is formed with an inner wall having an annular groove surrounding the outer surface of the insert, and the surfaces in the axial direction forming the annular groove and the inner wall cooperate to firmly hold the inserted insert. Wedging and withdrawal of the insert is impossible without applying sufficient shear force to shear the accordion-folded portion.

される。FIG. 3 shows that the retaining member 44 is made from a continuous elongate strip 44' of non-conductive thermoplastic material. As the strip 44' is fed in the direction of the arrow, a plurality of grooves 60 extending inwardly from the front surface 50 to the rear surface 52 and perpendicular to the front surface 50 are carved to separate it laterally. A plurality of axially weakened columnar portions 62 are formed. This columnar portion 62 can be folded by applying an appropriate external force. The strip is first grooved and then cut into strips to form the individual holding elements. The above-mentioned cutting is performed by cutting at right angles to the front and rear surfaces of the strip 44', and as shown in the figure, the lateral end surfaces 56,
58, or may be formed into a parallelogram (not shown) by cutting the front and rear surfaces at an acute angle. After cutting to the desired shape and contour, the short cut strip is rolled into a ring shape, and both lateral end faces are abutted against each other to form a cylindrical sleeve having a cross section suitable for insertion into the annular space 72. Although the illustrated groove 60 has an IJ-shaped root, it could have other shapes; FIG.
4, the front part 38 of the collar part 32 is brought into contact with the end wall part 22 of the flange 20 in the radial direction, and the collar part is inserted into the annular groove 1.
insert 2 within said annular groove so as to be surrounded by
4 is positioned. An axially extending annular space 72 is formed between the outer surface of the insert and the inner wall 12 of the shell.
